Chapter 1: The Phone Call
*Ring Ring* The cobalt hedgehog received a call as he rocketed through act one of the Chemical Plant. Any time he wanted to clear his head or just get away from life he always went to Green Hill Zone or the Chemical Plant. On this overcast day he chose the pink watered factory for his escape. He dodges the Grabbers and Landers with no problem. He knows this stage like the back of his hand. With every ring gained and every spring jumped upon he felt all his worries from the last week disappear. Little did he know, that was all about to change.
*Ring Ring* The phone continues to ring in his back pocket, but he doesn't pay any attention to it. He's completely focused on the task in front of him. All of his concentration lied in beating his last Time Attack score. As he runs he can't help but stare at the noxious water. It reminds him of the very thing he went there to forget. In his mind he thinks, maybe I should have gone to Green Hill Zone after all….
*Ring Ring* He finally finishes act one with only .5 seconds to spare. The blue mammal did a quick fist pump in the air to congratulate himself. He also notices his phone for the first time.
"Hey! This is Sonic!"
Although he has a lot on his mind he tries to keep up his cheerful façade. He never had a chance to prepare himself for what was next. The cerulean male thought it could have been Tails or Knuckles calling him, but he could not be more wrong. On the other end of the line he hears a small tinkling voice he knows all too well.
"Hi Sonic! It's Amy! It took you a while to pick up. Is everything alright?"
"Uh…Yea everything's fine Ames. I was just running and I think I zoned out. You know how I get when I'm going through a few acts. Heheh…."
He knew he didn't sound the least bit convincing but it wasn't his fault. This phone call was the last thing he needed at that moment. Amy was the reason he wanted to get away and run in the first place. It wasn't anything she did though; it was the generality of her just being at all. For the past few weeks he couldn't get the cheerful she-hog off his mind. The worst part about it was the fact that he had no clue why he couldn't stop thinking about her. From the time he awoke to the time he laid down to go to sleep, all he could think of was Amy. All of the memories of rescuing her and all of the praise and hugs she showered him with were replaying in his head. He always reacted by running or shrugging her off when she hugged him. Now, all he wanted to do was embrace her and never let go. His mind, more than often, wanders to the times she gave him a celebratory kiss on the cheek for defeating Dr. Eggman. Back then he would show his disgust at such a romantic gesture. Now he wonders what it would have been like if it were more than a simple kiss on the cheek.
When all of this began the first person he went to was his friend, Knuckles. The fire red echidna told him to not say anything. His reasoning on the matter is that it would only end up in the cobalt hedgie looking like a complete idiot. Sonic knew not if he should listen to the tempermental echidna. He only knew one thing. Before he made his decision, he would have to find out why he felt to strongly for her all of a sudden. The only thing he lacked was a plan.
"Sonic? Sonic, are you still there? Hello?" Again, he was dragged back to reality.
"Yeah. Sorry Amy. I zoned out again." He says as the tries to clear his head.
On the other end he could hear her voice begin to rise in excitement. This couldn't end well.
"Oh! Well I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to go to the fair with me tonight! There's a cute couple contest! If we win we can get 500 rings! Isn't it exciting? We could split the rings and get whatever we want."
He could hear how happy she was, but what could he do? If he said no she might start to cry. She may even get so mad that she resorts to using her deadly Piko Piko Hammer. If he said yes he would only add fuel to the fire, and he couldn't stand for the flames to grow any more. His mind began to race ahead and he heard himself replay as if from a distance.
"Sure Amy! I'd love to. I'll meet you there at three ok?..." It takes him a moment to register what he just said, but he caught himself and added, "But we aren't a couple, so we cant enter that contest thing."
Maybe this excursion could unlock the truth as to why he felt this strange pang of love for the slender female. He still had a good hour and a half to get ready, but he figured he would complete act 2 before he went home.
"Alright! Well, I guess I better go get ready then. Bye Sonikku!" His heart skipped a beat or two as she called him by his old pet name.Get a hold of yourself, man!, he thought to himself
"See you later Ames." He closed the phone slowly, hoping he made the right decision. All he could do now was wait it out and see what happens. He puts his phone back in his pocket and runs as fast as he can.
